String and Eat Necklaces

Kids can have fun making food by the foot with "O's" and candies that may just be in your cupboard.

Ingredients

4

pieces (about 36 inches each) red shoestring licorice

1/3

cup Cheerios™ cereal

1

roll (1.5 oz) brightly colored, ring-shaped gummy candy

1

package (1 1/4 oz) pastel-colored tube-shaped licorice candies

1/2

cup colored miniature marshmallows

1

tablespoon powdered sugar

Directions

1Onto each piece of shoestring licorice, string an arrangement of cereal, candies and marshmallows (to prevent stickiness, dip 1 end of licorice into powdered sugar before poking licorice through each marshmallow).

2When each licorice is 3/4 full, tie ends of licorice together into a double knot to make a necklace.

Expert Tips

A single Cheerios cereal "O" measures about 1/2 inch across, so it takes about 24 O's to make a foot.
